Peumus boldus Molina - Monimiaceae
boldo, Boldo

Evergreen tree, native to Chile.

„Together with litre, quillay, peumo, bollén and other indigenous plants, it is a characteristic component of the sclerophyllous forest endemic to central Chile. Its leaves, which have a strong, woody and slightly bitter flavor and camphor-like aroma, are used for culinary purposes, primarily in Latin America.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boldo

„Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of leaves of P. boldus grown in Siena (Tuscany, Italy) and marketed leaves from Chile were investigated by GC-MS. Forty-six compounds were identified, accounting for about 98% of total content; 22 constituents were reported for the first time. Ascaridole, which is endowed with antihelminthic properties, was the main component (38. 6% and 21.1 %, respectively). The Tuscan essential oil had a considerably higher percentage of eucalyptol.“
